Lebanon in a Picture

The Villa known as Donna Maria Sursock's residence was built by her... (Sawfar, Mont-Liban, Lebanon) The Villa known as Donna Maria Sursock's residence was built by her husband Alfred in 1909. The Villa looks a little like a small fairy tale castle and is interesting because of its decorative elements in cast cement, a novelty at the time. It was severely damaged and looted by the various armies and militias roaming the area at the time of the civil war in 1975. It stands today wrecked and uninhabited with an eternal elegance! #StoriesFromLebanon #Lebanon
